Coway Airmega AP-1512HH True HEPA Air Purifier with Air Quality Monitoring, Auto Mode, Timer, Filter Indicator, Eco Mode

Great product Received one as a gift and bought another the next day

Used this yesterday afternoon for the first time. Set it on Eco mode on the sensitive setting. With the ionizer on. Started feeling a lot better with improvement in air quality. Let it run through the night. Woke up with a dry and inflamed sinus. Realized it probably was the ionizer (ozone). So now Im using it with the ionizer off. Otherwise its nice and quiet, and easy to setup. Judging from the previous reviews, it works just as well without the ionizer.

I bought this air purifier to use in our guest house which is connected directly to our barn. As you can imagine, the smell from our goats seeps through every nook and cranny and makes for an unpleasant experience. I placed the air purifier just inside the door that connects the two buildings and after just a few hours I noticed a huge difference!! I have left it running nonstop since it was installed and haven’t run into any issues whatsoever. It’s not completely silent but it’s very quiet and you quickly get used to the white noise sound of the fan. Considering purchasing another, so would definitely recommend!

This air purifier was easy to start using right out of the box. I bought it to use in a large area of my loft apartment that does not have windows and always feels a little stale. I think the purifier is working well--the air felt much fresher and cleaner when I came home today. The ceilings are also super-high in my place, which must make it harder for a purifier to do its thing. The air quality indicator went up to purple (moderate) a couple of times when I first started running it, but it has been steady at blue (good) since then. It is really quiet at the lowest level and only has a low white-noise level at the second speed. I dont know what to say about the aesthetics. It reminds me a little of the HAL computer from 2001, but so far no one has died. Im happy with it.

So glad I watched and read reviews. Its nice to look at, works REALLY well, and is very quiet. I love it!

I bought 5 of these, 3 for my house two for my daughter Air quality getting to be a big deal THE top rated in consumer reports for how well they actually clean the air. Unbelievably well packaged, with up to 3 layers of boxes and top and bottom egg crates Ive purchased multi-thousand dollar audio gear not better packaged than this I cant measure how good at cleaning air but trust the number ONE Consumer Reports rating. Add to that its VERY quiet, modern and attractive looking and easily tucked into a corner, what more could you ask for

Wirecutter rated this tops in a recent air purifier review so we gave it a try along with two other highly rated brands. This is the best of the three. Has an auto mode with a sensor so you can leave on all the time - when in this mode it is silent unless the sensor detects bad air and bumps up the fan speed. Covers a large area. We think it looks pretty cool but we like modern style appliances.

I gave this to a relative and have visited since and found the machine on but utterly silent and the smell of the home much improved, two nice benefits to an air-cleaning machine.

My wife, son and I all suffer from seasonal allergies, we have also recently had mold issues in our apartment due to a faulty water heater and mold in windowpanes from the time we moved in. While we were able to keep inside mold at bay, after maintenance discovered our water heater was leaking and repaired it, we found the exterior closet where the water heater is located, riddled with mold. We then started seeing mold inside, as there are gaps in the walls behind the baseboards, which is where I feel the mold is now intruding from. We have a German Shepherd who sheds all the time, no matter how much we brush him. We also are unable to open some of the windows in our unit, which can make the air seem stale and management hasnt been a help on that front. Unfortunately, we cant afford to move and are still under lease. I started looking for an air purifier like the Allen i45 model I had purchased for my parents house in NW Indiana back in 2021. That unit was exceptional, it kept the dust down, it pulled in the dog hair to the point the pre-filter needed to be vacuumed every couple of days and it took the mold that occurred, due to condensation build up on the windows, from coming back. You could also smell the difference in the air inside their house. Unfortunately, the Allen unit was more than 3 times the price of these Coway models. I read the positive reviews, I looked at Wirecutter, who ranked these units a top pick for 9 years and decided this would be a good alternative for our apartment. So, I purchased two of them to cover our two-bedroom apartment in Vancouver, WA. When the units arrived, I noticed how much smaller they were than the Allen unit, but this didnt concern me as the specs were similar. I immediately set them up in our living room and in the main bedroom. I had just that day also cleaned the visible mold with bleach, killing off anything I had found, in order to help the Coway units function more efficiently. Upon powering up the units, they both showed the air quality to be good, which we knew wasnt true, so I adjusted the sensor to the sensitive mode on both. They still both showed good air quality, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt, as I had just cleaned the same day. I went to work that evening and when I arrived home, the air quality in the apartment wasnt improved. The stale smell was still there. I kicked the units into High (3) from the Auto setting. I immediately had to cut back to the Medium (2) fan setting, as High was shockingly louder than Medium. In fact, the Allen unit my parents have is as loud on its highest setting as the Coway is on Medium. But that wasnt a deal breaker for us. I decided to give it another day to see if things improved. Again, mind you, the Allen unit is so efficient that my parents have to vacuum the pre-filter every couple of days as it pulls in most of the dust and dog hair in the house. One unit, 1,100 sq ft house. After two full days of running two Coway units in our 850 sq ft apartment on Medium setting, the pre-filters barely have any dog hair on them and absolutely no dust. The latter could be due to the way we clean, but my mother vacuums and dusts nearly daily, we vacuum every other day and dust every four or five days. Im also seeing a bit of mold cropping up again, so it hasnt affected that either. In our bedroom, our sinuses continue to be stuffed up at night as the Coway units havent helped with our allergies at all, as several other reviews have claimed. Many years ago, I owned an air purifier with Ionizer from Oreck. Within moments of turning that unit on, which fit on a shelf, we could smell the ozone it created and could tell the difference in the air quality after only a short time. Ive had the Ionizer on the Coway units engaged since we set them up and none of us can smell anything different. Sadly, it seems as though you get what you pay for, and unfortunately, were going to have to pay a much higher price for one of the Allen units if we want to have actual results. Perhaps we received faulty units, but I find it difficult to believe that both would be bad. If they are, it would indicate quality control issues at the manufacturer. We had high hopes for the Coway air purifiers and are very disappointed in our purchase and will be returning both units to Amazon. One other disappointing item, on the Allen unit, I could turn off the lights and they would only come on briefly when it indicated a change in air quality, then would go back off. While you can defeat the air quality light on the Coway, it doesnt come back on at all. Another reviewer said the lights arent bright in their bedroom, as the reviewer was sensitive to light at night and couldnt even have the light from a clock radio nearby while trying to sleep. Im the same way, and I can tell you, the lights lit up our bedroom if I didnt disable the air quality indicator. I hope others arent getting the placebo effect in thinking that the units are working when they really arent, but there is a definite difference between the Allen i45 I purchased for my parents and the Coway units. Personally, I cant recommend them to anyone, as our experience has been anything but positive.

The auto feature is wonderful as it operates at a near-silent level most of the time. With allergies prevalent in the family, we’ve noticed a true difference in interior air quality.
